EDIT

My last try to rip the music from the game kinda broke my back.
I tried to rip every single cue from the game possible, compared
it to the tracks on the OST and so on. I simply lost track.

I decided to "slightly expand" the official soundtrack on my second
attempt instead - of course all in lossless glory - no analog line-in-
recording.! I am especially focusing on the action cues, that didn't
make it to the CD and breaking up the OST tracks and sort them
in chronological order.

The following chapters are already done:01 - A Rock And A Hard Place
02 - Breaking And Entering
03 - Borneo
04 - The Dig
05 - Urban Warfare
06 - Desperate Times
07 - They're Coming With Us
08 - The City's Secret
09 - Path Of Light
10 - Only One Way Out
11 - Keep Moving
12 - A Train To Catch
13 - Locomotion
14 - Tunnel Vision
15 - Train-Wrecked
16 - Where Am I?
17 - Mountaineering
18 - Heart Of Ice
19 - Siege
20 - Cat And Mouse
21 - Convoy
22 - The Monastery

Well, check it ;) Nate's Theme and Cliffhanger comes from the OST, so those tracks are lossy. For the rest, as far as I heard, the lossless quality gets lost with an analog recording, but I don't know for sure. I kept the tracks in APE format to prevent the frequencies being cut off.

By the way, there definitely is a lossy track on the disc played on the PS3 menu while the game is selected, which has a cutoff line at 16000Hz.

ok thanks. i appreciate uncharted 2 wont ever get a proper lossless release. as for it not having the dynamic quality and frequencies being cut off, that is what i meant about preserving the recording. :)

just 1 question, why have you kept the lossy tracks from the ost and not recorded those tracks manually. surely it would be better quality than the official release?

The quality of my analog recording of "Nate's Theme 2.0" is similar to the iTunes release. My rip features a constant noise, I don't want to denoise the tracks since the sound gets very "metallic". So in fact, the iTunes release is slightly better in my opinion. If you are looking for a true lossless release, I guess we have to wait for the day, where PS3 rips can be easily done like a PC gamerip. Maybe tthe other guy (I think it was hughkeanu) will have a better version ready soon.

And why I used the iTunes cue from the Cliffhanger sequence is obvious, I guess. It cannot be extracted without the speech and sfx layer.

Ohhh god yes thank you so much for this, this is my soundtrack of the year. Including film!

I desire, so much, the remix of the "Among Thieves" theme that plays... well I don't remember how many times but I know it plays during the gunfight when you go through that "mask store" near the beginning of the first city chapter right after Borneo.

I just started recording some music from Uncharted 2. More tracks will follow soon.
I won't include the cutscene cues though, which can't be isolated and are not on the OST. Those cues are marked grey.


2009 | Greg Edmonson, Clint Bajakian



01 - Nate's Theme 2.0 (1:47)

CHAPTER 01 - A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
02 - Cliffhanger (1:37) [Cutscene]
03 - A Rock And A Hard Place - Part 1 (2:14)
04 - The Lost Fleet (3:06) [Cutscene]
05 - A Rock And A Hard Place - Part 2 (1:26)
06 - Nate & Chloe (1:04) [Cutscene]
07 - A Rock And A Hard Place - Part 3 (3:04)
08 - Drake Finds The Dagger (:50) [Cutscene]
DOWNLOAD - TRACKS 01,02,03,05,07 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D53UG94C)

CHAPTER 02 - BREAKING AND ENTERING
09 - 4 Months Earlier (:54) [Cutscene]
10 - Breaking And Entering - Part 1 (9:50)

to be continued...

notes:
Track 02 has an extended ending, which is used in the first chapter of the game. In that cutscene, a shorter version has been used. I decided to place that cue in the cutscene.
Track 07 misses a short cue, which occurred once during playing but on all re-plays I never heard that cue again. Since it has some major errors in it, I didn't include it in here. I will keep that cue in mind and see, if I can update the track later on.

Hm, that's the Urban Warfare level, then. There are two cues there, which are played. On some occasions it's the "Brutal Combo Mambo" theme (I think there are five different versions of this) and sometimes, the "Helicopter and Tank" cue. Haven't heard the "Among Thieves Theme" there, though.


Hi you have possibility for flac?????
No, I'll stick to APE. It's lossless too and the files are smaller than on the highest compression level of FLAC.

Sorry guys for the long wait. But it's almost impossible to record all the stuff. Especially the action cues are complicated.

Not to steal the thunder away from FunnyML's work (definitely looking forward to the finished project, dude!), but I did up some of my own recordings of chapter pieces that aren't featured on the officially released soundtrack. These are some of my more favorite action cues in the game, especially Chapter 4's The Dig and Chapter 5's Urban Warfare. The Among Thieves (Soft Version) is actually taken from the toned-down cue from the Urban Warfare excerpt, but I felt it stood well enough on its own:

-The Dig (http://www.mediafire.com/?02zjgwozmzo)
-Urban Warfare (http://www.mediafire.com/?mwemvtnw4yg)
-They're Coming With Us (http://www.mediafire.com/?2yyoww2oyc4)
-Only One Way Out (http://www.mediafire.com/?ghhjq3njgym)

I don't know, but if they are in 7.1 surround like the ingame stuff, it's still hard to get the cues, there are sfx everywhere.

from what NemesisHunter told me, this is where he ripped his upload from, but only in mp3 for his own reasons. the fortune hunter edition is extremely limited and wasnt issued for sale.

"Indeed, a physical copy was included with each Fortune Hunter edition of the game, along with a copy of the Brady Games strategy guide for Uncharted 2. "

"If I recall, when they said the fortune edition was limited, it was REALLY limited. Only 200 prints (approximately) have been distributed worldwide, all of them via contests, betas, press screenings and website giveaways."

Hey, I just downloaded the OST version, and I was wondering if someone could help me in re-ordering the tracks so that they're in chronological order. I was able to figure out the basic Chapter order (and one cutscene via the Scene Select thing), but the remaining eight tracks are a mystery to me as to where they should go. Anyone wanna help out?

Also, I've downloaded the menu music, but I prefer my music to be MP3 (you know, so that I can actually listen to it on my PSP), but I don't have anything on my computer that can either play or convert it (not even Sony Vegas Pro 9).

I have a request if it's possible : there's this particular track that I love but that is not on the soundtrack, a remix of the Monastery. You often hear it after Sch�fer's death when Nate and Elena split up and Nate goes on the roof . There's some kind of tibetan horn just before.

You can hear it in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOpiY4hV5BA at 7'30.

If you or someone else could rip it for me, I would be so grateful...

That part is featured on one of the recordings I did in this thread (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showpost.php?p=1363115&postcount=52). It would be the one titled "The Monastery (Extended Version)". I spliced together my recorded rendition with the official soundtrack's version.

The Monastery (Extended Version):
http://www.mediafire.com/?wyymj2d3nzj

The part you're looking for starts at 1:55 into the song. Note that the woodwind melody part that immediately follows has a stronger reverb effect as heard in the game -- moreso than the official soundtrack version, at least, who's melodic part starts at 3:58.

I may post some more cues when I have the time to record more stuff. Sorry for the long wait. In the meantime, I will try getting the new physical release in lossless. It contains previously unreleased cutscene material which can't be isolated from the game. Will take a while, though - the release in my country is Mid-March.

I am currently thinking about doing a kind of "more music from" release in lossless in addition to the extended soundtrack release. Just name a cue and where it is played and I will rip it from the game.

I don't really have a specific cue in mind, I was rather hoping I could get some music which is later into the game. The official soundtrack is a bit sparse in that part of the game.

I'm really glad you're still working on this. If I had the proper equipment, and didn't have such a busy schedule, I would have done this, as I LOVE the music in this game and I am so disappointed that games like this don't get a FULL soundtrack release.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this for yourself and others. I, as I'm sure many do, really appreciate it.


Also, I have a physical copy of the score. I noticed earlier in the thread that you couldn't confirm it existed, if you'd still like it let me know and I can flac it or something. It's the one from the Fortune Hunter Edition though, so it doesn't have the 3 bonus tracks that are in the physical retail copy of the score.

Just out of curiosity, would you consider the old tracks I have from the previous version of your extended score obsolete or inferior? These new tracks can replace them right? At least the ones represented in this new version?

Sorry about all the questions, I just want to know whether or not I can replace the tracks from the previous version without missing out on any of the cues I may already have had.

FunnyML
06-21-2010, 10:25 AM
The old tracks are obsolete. Some of them are even redundant or the chronological order is incorrect. I remember an action cue for the fight scene at the beginning of The Dig, which turned out to be from "Warzone". According to concept arts with that title, Warzone has been composed for the Nepal levels.
Or the final chase cue at the end of The Dig, where Drake and Sullivan escape - every time I played that scene I heard a different music track. Busting Chops, from the Convoy level and another one from a later chapter. I decided to leave those cues out, since they appear later on.
Or the Sewer Chase from Breaking and Entering is not included also, it should appear later again.

I will definitely leave out some cues too, but that should be okay, because they are combinations of other cues and not recorded for those scenes. When Drake falls into the pit and combats the enemys with his bare hands (right before he follows the hose to get to The Dig level), a short introduction cue is played which sounds like a combination of some cues.

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing :P

Shiryoku
06-22-2010, 10:02 PM
Sweet, answered all my questions. I just wasn't sure where the other tracks I have from you stood.

It would be SUPER nice if American/European video games just received official like... 5-6 disc soundtracks like most Japanese games do.

FunnyML

I hope someday we can rip the music directly from the game's archives. We can't miss a cue, we get to know where the tracks are written for and even their name is visible.

Thanks, really need the kind words. It's getting more difficult with every cue, to find all versions, compare them with each other, partly remix them again and have a look for errors in the files.
I'd say I finished roughly 50%. I still have a huge task in the end with the level montage cues.

If you want to help me out a bit, feel free to do so. Could you please check, if the following cue has been also used in (and therefore written for) Drake's Fortune? Borneo Brawl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYUBYWsT1BU&feature=PlayList&p=B878AC41C8725DF1&index=16)
I don't remember any music from the first game, but the sound is the suspicious part, it doesn't sound as it belongs to the rest of the score, somehow different. Sadly, I have too much to do to find it out myself. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's just one of the cues Clint Bajakian wrote for the game, I don't know.

No you're totally right, I noticed this with the first version of your expanded score. This track uses some cues from the Drake's Fortune OST. Track 6: Plane-wrecked to be precise. The cue that plays from about 1:40 to 2:10 in Plane-wrecked (ituses a phrase from the Uncharted Theme of Drake's Fortune), that cue from Plane-wrecked is used at least three times in your Borneo Brawl track; 1:15 to about 1:45, again from 4:10 to about 4:35, and again at 7:00 to about 7:28.

Although (and this may just be me) it sounds like a it could be a different recording of it, the brass sounds a tiny bit different and one of the vocal notes doesn't seem to hold as long in the Drake's Fortune version. Plus the cue is used with different elements in both versions. Also in Borneo Brawl, each consecutive use of the cue has different surrounding elements, the last seeming to be the most intense.

There's also another cue from Drake's Fortune used at least twice in that track from what I can tell, it feels like one of the stingers that plays when you complete a shootout in the first game.

I hope that helped, it's late over here, so I wasn't as in-depth as I could have been, but tomorrow I'll give it a closer listen if you want me to.

I figure if I can pinpoint similar cues from the two games, I'll bring them into soundbooth or something and compare waves, listen simultaneously, all that jazz, like I said, the Borneo Brawl cue almost sounded like a different recording than Plane-wrecked.

FunnyML

I wouldn't trust the OST mix, they usually mix the layer stems differently for the CD. Play that scene, try triggering all the stems and keep resetting the checkpoint to get all music variations played.

Shiryoku
08-02-2010, 01:44 AM
Yeah, that's what I intended. I was planning on going through the game on easy, but I may just do it on Crushing, that way I'm not constantly having to kill myself to try for different stems. I'll figure something out. I'm glad the Uncharted games actually give you the option to play with just music or whatever you want with the sound.

Alright, so I just climbed up the fortress at the beginning of Chapter 5.. The Fortress!

I've tried to be as thorough as possible, playing through each section 3 times, and approaching each firefight by letting them attack first, then I attack first, then I stealth attack first, then I just run in and see what happens. So I'm doing each firefight at least 4 times.

So far though, I've only noticed that one cue from Plane-wrecked that's also in Uncharted 2.

I have to say though it's pretty damn awesome playing through this game right now. I've got the volume about 1.5 times my normal playing volume, so all the sound is coming out crisp and it just booms so satisfyingly, I've never heard some of this music so clear, since I'm playing without voice or sound. I'm enjoying myself as I do this.

Hey guys, just posting this to say that I've finished my own set of recordings for Uncharted 1. I've learned a lot along the way, and hopefully this will help for when I do the Uncharted 2 recording today.

Basically what I found was that there are several types of recordings. The first and most obvious are Normal tracks, which don't have anything unique about them whatsoever. Tracks like Showdown are Normal tracks.

The main type though is what I call Dynamic Tracks. These play only in certain areas of the game and have several different versions, with more or less instruments included to match what's happening in the game. There is the Action version for fight, Tense version for stalemates, and Mellow for no fights at all, plus two in-between versions. There can be as many as five for a typical track, but it can be as low as two. For instance, the Plane-wrecked track has the normal, mellow track to start, but the first two pirate fights have the action mix.

The third type of track are the cues. These are usually played in moments where there is no music at all (for instance, when Nate and Sully are examining the ruins for the first time in Chapter 2). They're all selected completely at random and typically only last a few seconds. These I didn't bother with, unless they were played for a specific event, with the same cue each time (a good example is when Nate looks at his map in Unlocking the Past). There are also of course finishing cues for Normal and Dynamic Tracks, these I've included as part of the normal one to finish it off.

One cue type I didn't go for is this type that plays when your partner is killed when you leave the battlefield. They would be tricky to record and wouldn't fit in the normal scheme of things. Making things harder is the fact that some battles have a second, alternate track for when you do it the second time, whether it be loading an old save, dying, or what have you. THEN there's the fact that the OST has different versions as well! (again, Showdown is different on the OST).


I'm about to head into recording Uncharted 2, so hopefully this info will make things a bit easier to do for us. I'll be doing it in my normal style, however, which is in MP3 at 320kbps, because I like to listen to my music on the go, and I'm a bit of a space nut (which is also why my tracks don't loop).

Shiryoku
08-08-2010, 05:49 AM
I've been staying aware of the many different ways you get can the music to play. For my part in this it's a bit easier, because I'm not actually recording anything, but I've been trying many different approaches to every part of the game, until I can get each cue/variation to play at least 3 times, so I can relatively safely assume that I've heard all I'm going to hear.

I'm not sure how FunnyML approaches these things, but for his sake I think it's safe to assume I'm doing a good job of thoroughly sifting through the soundtrack looking for doubles, reused pieces or cues, and similar tracks.

KBABZ
08-08-2010, 05:58 AM
Alright. Maybe to help in my Soundtrack, could you perhaps give a list of fights that have two or more tracks each time you do them? I still think I'm missing a few things.


Almost immediately I've found how Uncharted 2 can be harder on the cues; most of them are longer and more dramatic than the ones in the original game (A Rock and a Hard Place has several), so my rule has been changed to only exclude the shorter, less interesting ones that only last a few seconds or so.

There are a few doubles in Uncharted 1, but there are also a few near doubles as well (the fight in the water section of the Castle, and Heading Upriver are both very similar aside from the fact that the water castle one lacks an instrument or two).

Are you talking about Uncharted 1? If you mean the final fight with Navarro
on the ship, then sorry but this one has more layers (or stems as they call it).

I can't speak for the music in Uncharted 1 but on Among Thieves nearly every track has more layers than one. Not just the action cues, even the random short cues you skipped on the first game.

Did you find out, if the UDF Plane-Wrecked cues are identical or similar to the UAT Borneo Brawl ones?

KBABZ
08-08-2010, 07:50 AM
From my ears' memory, they are identical, but I have been wrong before.

I played through Showdown a few times, and that track doesn't have any layers from my time with it. I do know that there are two tracks to that level, though. There's the track for the first two sections (which has been heard earlier, thus why I didn't mention it), and then the unique track shows up for the third and final ones.


I'm probably going through the pain because A) I'm not after cues, and B) I want my tracks in MP3. No offense to and FLACers out there, but I'm not a fan of it because it won't play on my PSP unless I mod it, which I'm not willing to do. It also saves me on internet credit doing it myself because I don't have to download anything (internet is so bad over here, we only get 20GB a month). Oh, and C) There's the satisfaction of knowing that I recorded all of those tracks myself!

My recording method is probably more unorthodox compared to most. My TV has Audio Out ports at the back (the Composite/Component style plugs). I get a special cable that converts that to a headphone jack at the end, and stick that into the Audio In port on my PC. I record and edit the stuff in Sony Vegas, which has proven to be very versatile for as long as I've had it.

I paid special attention to that part just to be sure, I've compared sound waves, and judged by ear, I've had the audio from the game and borneo brawl coming out of two sets of headphones and compared them at the same time, the cue is identical.

So far the only places I've seen with multiple full songs for the fights were: the chase after Sullivan gets shot just before reuniting with Elena, the shootout at the clearing where the plane wreckage is, and the shootout just before you get to the fort where there's the clearing with all the traps. Not a lot of shootouts before chapter 5 anyway, so I'm sure there'll be more to come.

And which connection do you use to connect your PS3 to the TV? HDMI or Composite?

Great work Shiryoku. Can't wait for new updates. When I finished my rip in a couple of months, I'll give you the files for comparison and delete the cues you find in the first game.

Outtake? Weird.

Well as I said, I record my own version because I like to, and it saves me having to download it from ya, although if there are extra track versions I'll probably download those. I use HDMI to connect to my HDTV, but if I'm recording video, I'm forced to use Composite with my DVD Recorder.

Also, I'm in the Borneo level, and I've noticed that the music there IS in fact different; it lacks the flute instrument. My guess is that the reason for this is because each Uncharted uses music that pertains to the particular cultures involved in the backstory (say, Incan-esque, Spanish and English for Drake's Fortune, and Nepalese/Tibetan for Among Thieves), and the flute didn't really adhere to that.

Shiryoku
08-08-2010, 09:11 PM
The cue sounds different because there are different instrument tracks playing in Drake's Fortune and Among Thieves. While the cue is in both games completely intact, Among Thieves does have the cue with other instruments playing over it. The actual Drake's Fortune cue though, is still there relatively untouched. I said they were identical because the cue itself isn't changed, just the musical ambience that accompanies it.

KBABZ
08-08-2010, 09:21 PM
Weird how audio terminology works like that. I'd have thought that identical would have meant that there would be absolutely no differences, rather than "Oh it's the same but there aren't as many instruments playing".

I agree. I guess they used some of the short pieces playing in UAT when there is no action and mixed them into the track? All the action cues on UAT have those cues mixed into them, in most cases they are used as "bridges" between segments.

KBABZ
08-09-2010, 12:47 AM
I certainly did pick up one or two short cues from Plane-wrecked. There are a bunch of short samples of tracks posing as cues in Drake's Fortune. One of the longer ones is actually the music from the start of the Time's Up scene, when Nate is swimming out from under the U-Boat (an alternate version of this cue plays for when Navarro leaves the vault room saying "Sullivan has escaped, find him!").

Shiryoku
08-09-2010, 12:56 AM
Basically what I meant is in the Among Thieves track, there are strings playing, bells, and the didgeridoo/throat singing. That's the Uncharted 2 part, and the Drake's Fortune cue plays with that. The cue in question is technically the same, because it's just been layered in with this new recording.

That's what I was talking about. But I guess since the cue doesn't play on it's own, you guys aren't counting it as the same right? I mean I wouldn't either, but I think I missunderstood FunnyML's original question about the cue.

Another part of Borneo Brawl that's also in Drake's Fortune are the four bamboo strikes from :32-:34, also reused with score from Among Thieves.

FunnyML
08-09-2010, 02:59 AM
Thanks for your help, I will rip the score to the first game then and decide afterwards what to do with the Among Thieves cues. If they layered in material, already featured somewhere else on the album, I will delete it. If it's not, I guess it's similar to Nate's Theme, which doesn't sound too different either on both soundtracks, but still they re-recorded it and called it 2.0. Might be the same with this Plane-Wrecked cue. Plane-Wrecked 2.0 ;)

Shiryoku
08-09-2010, 06:36 AM
Yeah, Nate's Theme 2.0 is obviously a rerecording with a bigger orchestra, and some different percussion pieces, but the cues from the first game don't seem to be. The only thing is I actually like that the reused a cue or two from the first game a lot. It keeps a little continuity and feels like a good callback thematically.

I'll be busy over the next day or two, but I'll keep on trucking through the first game every chance I get.

FunnyML

I will record some more stuff today. Still some construction zones to clear up. Like finding out, where the cue "Cat And Mouse" from the OST is coming from. Really puzzles me, I just played that level and it's not there. I got used to that a bit, some cues from A Rock And A Hard Place and Train Wrecked are mixed, too but a whole track...
I think I heard this before but skipped it because of the name.

KBABZ
08-09-2010, 11:47 AM
Personally, I don't mind if various cues and whatnot are reused in a different track to make something new, to me that counts as a different 'track' (I've listened to about five versions of the same track throughout the first five chapters of Among Thieves).

On Cat and Mouse, I think it may be an OST exclusive. I had a similar situation when I came across The Bunker. It's based on the track that first appears when you first enter the U-Boat in Chapter 2, but that specific, more heavy mix I never came across in the game.

Shiryoku
08-09-2010, 02:24 PM
I'll give it a listen later today see if it brings to mind anything. I've played among thieves so much that I can close my eyes and picture the gameplay for most of the tracks on the OST, and sometimes I can hear the music with muted gameplay.

I may be able to figure out a general area where that track may be in game, or if it's a combination of several tracks.

In the beginning, the alternate tracks are at least identical in terms of length. Later, those alternates differ in length quite a bit.

Ahh, okay.

I've been thinking about picking up the recordings where you left off, rather than chugging along on my own in your footsteps (so to speak), and giving you the files once I'm done. I'll save them in FLAC, just for you, but getting them to you may be a problem because of internet costs. Physically mailing them to you is an option I have actually pulled off before.

Oh, okay... kinda wish I knew that before I started on Uncharted 2.

I'll switch back to Uncharted 1 and record the battles with multiple tracks, once Shiryoku finishes that list. How I'll get it to you I have no idea, but personally I think mail is the best option since I don't have any place to upload it on the net.

FunnyML
08-12-2010, 11:18 AM
You don't need an account. Just use one of the services like hotfile, megaupload and co. or take multiupload.com.

I don't know how big the MP3 version will be. Need to edit all the stuff first and finishing up the lossless version, then converting them down to MP3.
67 minutes are around 170 MB, so all the music should be around 420 MB at max.

KBABZ
08-12-2010, 11:33 AM

That's probably because it's the OST, not the fan-made version that was done here.

UPDATE:
To all the readers - don't worry, I didn't give up on this one. I just had no time for it. However, I planned on doing this rip, because there was no other way of getting the music from the game. Thanks to a special attentive user, there might be a new (and much simpler way) of getting all the files. I will check this and let you know, when I know more.

There will never be a complete score for the games. The problem is, that the cutscenes are prerendered and the music cannot be isolated. But there will be an expanded rip for both games soon.

I just finished my play through of Uncharted Drake's Fortune. I can list some places where the multiple tracks play, if you want. But I sort of stopped looking for that once we got access to the new source.

I CAN say though, that apart from the initial track that started this whole thing, no other music/cues from the game struck my as familiar, as if used in Uncharted 2. And I can say that I've been VERY thorough in trying to find tracks that are used in both games, as it's taken me about 2 and a half months to do this play through.

Hey, I have a quick question for you, if you'd be so kind to answer. I managed to rip all the xvag files from Uncharted 3, but when I load them in Foobar2000 all I get is static noise. And that while the Uncharted 2 xvag files are playable as music. I think they changed codecs or something, but I have no idea to which one. Any thoughts or suggestions?

(I'm Trennas by the way, but under a new account; I released the custom U2 soundtrack earlier this year :)

Hopefully you have an answer! Thanks in advance!

Uncharted 3 uses a lossy MPEG codec, which the XVAG plugin doesn't support (yet). Shame they didn't store the music in lossless this time.

Can't help you out there. As far as this whole thing goes, I can edit rip and edit music, but the technical stuff is way out of my league.

I do think that most of the music is on the 2cd soundtrack though, so getting it to work is not as essential as it was for Among Thieves :)

FunnyML
11-06-2011, 09:22 PM
Don't be intrigued, as with Drake's Fortune and Among Thieves, a lot of the MOODS have been omitted. And only the full versions of the multilayered cues (they're called MAMS here) seem to be released. Many cues also have alternate mixes that play when you restart a checkpoint, those shouldn't be on the OST, either. The music file is over 3GB in size, which is a lot considering they used a 256k bitrate for them, so there should be many stuff missing.

Not to steal the thunder away from FunnyML's work (definitely looking forward to the finished project, dude!), but I did up some of my own recordings of chapter pieces that aren't featured on the officially released soundtrack. These are some of my more favorite action cues in the game, especially Chapter 4's The Dig and Chapter 5's Urban Warfare. The Among Thieves (Soft Version) is actually taken from the toned-down cue from the Urban Warfare excerpt, but I felt it stood well enough on its own:

-The Dig (http://www.mediafire.com/?02zjgwozmzo)
-Urban Warfare (http://www.mediafire.com/?mwemvtnw4yg)

Guys, I just discovered the Uncharted series(I know... I'm late to the party...), the second one is absolutely incredible!
Is there a chance to see this 5cds edition of the score being reuploaded?
It would be SOOOOO awesome!! :D
Thanks a lot!
